Vitra Eames Plastic Side Chair RE DSX
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Charles & Ray Eames, 1950
DSX — Dining Height Side Chair, X-Base
The Eames Plastic Side Chair RE DSX pairs the organically shaped recycled polypropylene shell with a four-legged tubular steel X-base — a clean, architectural base available in chrome or powder-coated finish. First presented at the Museum of Modern Art's Low-Cost Furniture Design competition in 1950, the Eames shell chair was the first industrially manufactured plastic chair, a landmark in both design history and production technology.
The DSX (Dining Height Side Chair X-Base) combines the shell with the slender geometry of the tubular steel X-base, giving it a lighter visual presence than the wire rod versions. The shell is produced from recycled post-consumer plastic sourced from household packaging collected through Germany's Yellow Bag (Gelber Sack) scheme — significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions versus virgin plastic. At end of life, the shells are 100% recyclable. Due to the nature of the recycled material, shell colours carry very subtle specks of pigment.
The unupholstered DSX with a powder-coated base is suitable for outdoor use on a temporary or seasonal basis — after prolonged exposure to the elements, clean and store in a dry, sheltered place to ensure lasting use and avoid any deterioration in appearance.
